The Process:
Step 1
Apply online on www.shell.com/careers
Your first step will be a generic application for a skill pool in most cases, not a specific job. We have a
talent driven approach which means that we seldom have specific job descriptions but will rather match
your interests with the positions available.
After creating your profile, you will be required to complete three pre-registration questions to assess
eligibility for Student opportunities. The next step is to select the skillpool you wish to apply for, and
then complete the application form, attaching your CV/résumé. Do not forget to mention “CEMS” as a
source.
Once you have submitted the application form and CV/résumé there will be a short questionnaire to
complete.
When Shell has received your completed form and questionnaire, your application will then be available
for consideration.
■ Include your achievements – all experiences count, whether paid, voluntary or shadowing. Focus
on your responsibilities and achievements in the role and remember to highlight what your
contributions were, where skills were used or developed and the outcomes.
■ Don't make general statements about your qualities. Make sure you can support your statements
with evidence.
■ Try to link your skills and experience to the requirements of the job you are applying for.
■ Beware of exaggerating your achievements.
■ Do not have unexplained gaps in your work history.
Step 2
After a successful screening of your CV you will be forwarded to interview.
We’ll let you know whether you’ll be invited to the interview stage approximately two weeks after
receiving your completed application.
The interview will be a 45 min. structured interview and will take place either face-to-face or over the
telephone. We’ll be assessing how you perform against our CAR criteria. This is an opportunity for you
to tell us more about your achievements, the challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve demonstrated the
qualities we’re looking for.
■ Structure your answers – background, objectives, what you did, who else was involved, what
was the outcome.
■ Ask for clarification if you do not understand a question.
■ Don’t be afraid to ask for time to think.
■ Be prepared.
■ Be yourself.
■ Ask for feedback.
Step 3
Internship and Shell Recruitment Day (SRD)
If you’re successful at your interview, we’ll let you know when you’ll be invited to our Shell Recruitment
Day. This is our chance to see you in action in a variety of different work scenarios. We’ll be assessing
how well you demonstrate the key competencies (CAR) we’re looking for.
You’ll be joined on the SRD by up to six other candidates and four assessors who’ll be observing
individual performances.
The day will last for eight hours, including time for lunch, refreshment breaks and preparation, and you’ll
undertake three key exercises:
■ A Case Study
■ A Group Discussion
■ A Business Scenario Interview
Think of our internships as a crash course in what it’s like to work for one of the world’s most forward
thinking energy companies. This is not work experience; this is working for Shell, on real projects
specifically matched to your interests and abilities.
Lasting anywhere from eight weeks and twelve months, our internships are not only paid, they’ll also
give you invaluable exposure and experience at Shell.
As one of our Interns, you’ll benefit from regular and structured performance evaluation from your
Mentor and direct Supervisor. You’ll also receive direct feedback to help you to enhance your strengths
and build on any areas for development.
As your internship will be fully assessed against real tasks and targets, we gain a very rounded view of
your skills and capabilities. Succeed in your internship and you could be offered a full-time position at
Shell when you graduate. Shell Internships are designed to help you:
Please note that any offer of an internship will be conditional upon you having the
legal right to work in that location.
PROFESSIONALS
Do you already have several years of work experience and are you looking for a new
challenge?
Job Search
The first step towards joining Shell as a Professional is to look through our current job vacancies from
around the world listed on our career pages.
Apply
Once you find a vacancy that interests you, apply via the online application form. Within 48 hours,
you’ll receive confirmation that we have received your completed application.
We’ll let you know if you will be invited to an interview within two weeks.
If you don’t find a suitable opportunity, you can also submit your résumé/CV to be matched for future
opportunities as they arise. Alternatively, you can register to receive Job Alerts via email.
Interview
If your application is successful, you’ll then be invited to an interview within approximately two weeks
from your application. The interview will typically take 45 minutes to an hour. This will take place either
face-to-face or over the telephone and we’ll be assessing your experience against our CAR criteria and
the criteria listed in the job description. At the end of the interview, you’ll have the chance to ask us
some questions of your own – about the role, the culture, work environment or any other area of interest
to you.
Final Assessment
If you’re successful at your interview, we’ll invite you to undertake a Final Assessment within
approximately three weeks after your interview.
The assessment can take up to four hours and comprise a number of steps:
■ a case study discussion,
■ a scenario exercise
■ and an interview.
At the end, you again have a further opportunity to engage with us to get more insight into the position,
reward and benefits, and the offer-making process.
We’ll endeavour to notify you of the outcome of the Final Assessment within a few days after the
event, although this can take longer in some markets.
Please note that all the timings given above are average times for each step in the process.
However, if many applications have to be processed each step can also take longer.

we look

Achievement

monitoring progress and dealing with setbacks?

of this?

awareness of personal strengths and development areas.
